During a charity gala, my boyfriend bids on a pair of matching watches but gives one of them to his true love. The media excitedly capture the scene and ask, "You bought a million-dollar watch without even batting an eye, Mr. Loewe. You've been single all these years—is it time for you to make an official announcement on your relationship status?" Everyone off stage applauds him, and I join them. I give him my blessings for his so-called announcement. To make it up to me, he attends my birthday celebration. Yet he pushes me into the cake to make his true love happy. Unbeknownst to him, there's a steel rack in the cake to keep it steady. I end up bloodied and on the brink of death.

I replied expressionlessly, "I don't know any Xander. You have the wrong number." And then, I blocked all those numbers that called me to collect the money. To be loved brought life and warmth, but losing love stripped away one's light.By the eighth month after we separated, the young man who once climbed his way up step by step with my help had completely hit rock bottom.One day, during a business entertainment outing, I accompanied a client to the city's largest club. A casual glance and my eyes met a familiar gaze.Under the dim, intimate purple lights, Xander was dressed in a cheap, revealing leather outfit as he entertained an older man.That old man clearly had peculiar tastes. His lecherous eyes were glued to Xander as if ready to take him by force at any moment.Probing and sardonic gazes continuously fell upon him from nearby.At that moment, Xander was nothing more than a commodity awaiting appraisal and purchase.Beneath his forced smile lay deep disgust and fea

Mia brought a box of delicious-looking king crabs to visit me.I hadn't had crab in a long time.The reason was simple—Xander had once helped Natasha crack open a crab at a business dinner. Back then, I was afraid he wouldn't have time to eat, so I lowered myself to crack it for him.But all I got in return was Xander's reprimand.He hissed, "Cynthia, could you stop being so malicious toward Natasha? Are you trying to humiliate her? Do you feel superior?"To him, I was a vulgar businesswoman, while Natasha was a talented but overlooked intellectual.Yes, they were the same type of person.The small-town scholar had broken free from the shackles of fate when he left the mountain ranges.Both Xander and Natasha were fragile and sensitive, and they had a strong sense of pride. That was why Xander could understand Natasha well.As the saying went, "Only the crying child would get the candy."But for me, I no longer cared for his tiny offerings of sweetness.I never ate crab agai

I almost forgot that I blocked his phone number.Xander's urgent voice sounded through the phone."Cynthia, I saw your comment. It's not what you think. Please let me explain. I didn't come to Bodalie Island for a vacation; I'm on a business trip. I'm working on the company's project."Cynthia, Natasha was diagnosed with depression, and I only took her there to help her relax. If you're upset, I'll come back right away and stay with you, okay? You—"In the past, he would never have bothered explaining to me. This time, though, something was different. He was desperately trying to make it right.I guessed he realized he might be losing me.But late declarations of love were as worthless as dirt."Mr. Loewe," I interrupted him. "There's really no need for you to explain. We've already broken up.""I didn't agree to break up!" He begged, "Being in a relationship is a two-person matter. I can't accept a one-sided breakup! Cynthia, I know you're still angry with me. Please wait for

I ignored him as I strode right out of there.Xander quickly caught up. He must have calmed down and realized that he had gone too far.He reached out to touch my face. "I'm sorry, Cynthia. Does it hurt? I didn't mean it. I was just too hasty..."Indeed, his favoritism toward Natasha wasn't a one-time thing.I pulled away from his hand. "It's fine. I'll just pretend I got bitten by a dog."Xander's face was filled with disbelief. "Why? Cynthia, you don't seem upset at all."Upset?Did he want me to break down, cry uncontrollably, and pester him? Only when he humiliated me would he finally pity me, huh?I chuckled in response. "Yeah, I'm not upset. What's there to be upset about? Xander, let's break up."The words I thought would be painful to say had come out so easily."Why? Cynthia, didn't you say you would love me forever?" He grabbed my hand, visibly distressed. "Cynthia, listen to me, okay? I actually saw you when we were eating the cookie. I did it on purpose! I just wa

The first light of dawn broke gently.By the time we left the charity gala, Xander Loewe was already slightly tipsy. His face was flushed, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.He tentatively asked me, "Cynthia, it's getting really late. How about we skip your birthday for now? We can celebrat

After the nurse had just changed my dressing, I lay on the hospital bed, staring at the pitch-black night sky dotted with a few scattered stars.Out of nowhere, I thought of the diamond-encrusted watch on Natasha's wrist.How ridiculous.He was still using that bank card after all these years. Ho

I lifted my bloodied face, the mix of blood and cream making for a horrifying sight.I was utterly wretched.I, Cynthia Quinn, was nearly maimed by my boyfriend on my 26th birthday.A crimson haze clouded my vision.In my fading consciousness, the last thing I heard was Xander stammering, "I'm s
